| so yeah, yesterday was an awsome day, i came home and went to the mall around 1ish, saw my friends Steph, Amy, and Taylor, went shopping, bought a couple gifts, then i went over to Josh's and watched the conclusion to a disheartening Red Wings game, ate a wonderful thanksgiving leftovers meal, then Josh, Trav and I went off to go ice skating, we were joined by Brown, Laura K., Julie and Johnny Weidmann, and a few other asorted guests, it was fun, i havent ice skated in awhile, Trav looked really fun out there, Josh fell once, b/c a little future towelhead cut him off and made him fall over, there were some like 5 year old girls there who were better skaters than i could ever hope to be, it made me feel stupid... then a bunch of us went back to the Peterson's, and i cleaned out Torrey, Josh, and Trav of all their chips, it was a wonderful evening. today im bored, looking for sumthing to do, tomorrow morning after church i am packing up and heading back to Cleveland..."..and in the mornin im leavin, makin my way back to Cleveland, so tonight i hope, that i will do just fine, and i dont see how you could ever be...anything but mine" | | |
